To Keep Her Safe

CHAPTER TWENTY TWO

The morning was filled with light showers and cloudy weather, the couple didn't want to get out of their bed. " Is there a way you could have your breakfast in your room ? ". Freen asked as she snuggled in her lover's neck.

Rebecca was herself reluctant to let go, the weather was romantic and how her lover pampered her with kisses made her want to just stay here.

" I can try to arrange that ". Rebecca replied, she intertwined her hands with Freen's, she liked to play with her fingers. " Do you think we would be able to train today ? ". Rebecca asked, she turned her head to look at her lover who held her from behind.

" No, I think the training is cancelled for today, not for you but for everyone, recruits may slip in mud or injury themselves. So the commander won't take any risk ". Freen replied, she didn't know what was cooking inside her lover's mind.

" Stay here till the evening ? ". Rebecca innocently asked, Freen chuckled, there was a possibility that they won't be caught because they would just be here for almost half of the day. " And then do what ? ". Freen tilted her head, challenging her lover, Rebecca blushed, she didn't have any other motive, she just wanted to cuddle in bed.

" Don't get any other ideas into your head, Sarocha ". Rebecca rolled her eyes, Freen giggled, she placed kisses all over her lover's face and let go of the embrace.

" But I still have to go to my room ". Freen tried to leave the bed, Rebecca pulled her back down with her arm. " I thought you were staying till the evening ? ". Rebecca pouted, Freen sighed and shook her head.

" Your maid will first knock on my door, so I have to be there so she doesn't find this suspicious. When she comes to yours, tell her you will be having dinner in your chamber. I will not leave you when I agreed to stay, Teerak ". Freen carressed Rebecca's hair as she kissed her forehead before getting out of the bed. Rebecca sighed and slumped on her bed, these days she just wants to stay with Freen with no disturbance.

Freen was ready in her room, when Irin knocked on her door, Freen pretended that she was ready to escort the princess to the dinning hall. Irin went to the princess's chamber next, hoping to information her royal highness that her father is wishing to have her company for breakfast.

" Irin, I wish to have breakfast in my chambers, please inform the king that the princess is unable to join him and apologize on my behalf ". Rebecca ordered her maid, Irin awkwardly nodded because to her the princess seemed fine.

" As you wish, princess ". She bowed in front of her, she left to inform Freen about the change of schedule and then headed straight to the dinning hall where the king patiently waited for his daughter's presence at the dinning table.

" Sorry my majesty but the princess wishes to stay in her chamber and have her meal there ". Irin informed, the king sighed and nodded and asked the maid to prepare her plate and other dishes and deliver it to her chamber as she has requested.

" Irin, inform the princess that her training is called off today, the commander and I have discussed this thoroughly, we are going to lay off due to the weather ". The king instructed the princess's personal maid who just bowed and took her leave.

After Irin delivered the food along with the message that was a delight for Rebecca who was looking forward to stay in her chamber and spend all the time with her lover. " Thank you, Irin ". Rebecca grateful said, it was rare for a royal to say thank you but Irin was happy that her efforts were acknowledged by the princess.

After a few minutes, Freen entered the princess's chamber without knocking, she was breathing heavily. " I haven't snuck in your room in the day, that scared the hell out of me ". Freen took a deep breath, the princess chuckled and held her lover's hand bringing her towards the table she set for both of them.
